[ Voice ] [ Attempted lock from Mytho ]

[wings_of_hope]

[ There's a moment of silence before there's a meek clearing of a throat. And then another pause before the girl's voice comes through the device-- ]

I just... I just wondered... Who else here has had other people come from home and--

[ She hesistates for a moment, but then continues. ]

A-And they're from a different time and things happened and now you don't know what to think or feel about a lot of--

[ Ahiru cuts off yet again, a longer pause hanging in the air before sighs and speaks very quickly, almost tripping over her words as they come out in a sheepish mess. ]

I'msorryIshouldn'thavesaidanything.

[ The feed quickly statics out. ]

[ ooc: Distressed ducky is distressed, but ashamed of her own feelings on the matter. ]

[[He locks the message in an anticipatory move, guessing that whatever answer Ahiru has is one she won't want public.]]

What are you asking a question like that for?

[Voice; locked successfully!]

[wings_of_hope]

[ URP. ]

Uh. Well! I was just curious! We're probably not the only ones it happened to, right?

[ She laughs nervously. ]

[Voice; locked successfully!]

[[Ahiru, you are not good at lying.]]

The situations are still different. What are you looking to compare?

My older brother's here... from five years earlier than me. So now I'm older than him.

It's really confusing at times, that's for sure.

[Voice]

[wings_of_hope]

[ ...Wow, that must be awkward. ]

It's really weird. I wonder why they bring people from the same world at different times. I mean... wouldn't the ones already here be missing from that world or...?

[ She's only going to confuse herself more if she keeps trying to think about it. ]

[Voice]

*You have no idea Ahiru. You have no idea.*

That's not how it works. At least, that's what everyone I've talked to says. Apparently BREW puts people back right where it took them from.

[ voice ]

[ryuuhirameki]

From what this one can tell, it's not uncommon here.

[the voice sounds young. he's not about to bring his own issues into it, but god can Kenshin empathize]

It's not easy, is it?

[ voice ]

[wings_of_hope]

Yeah... I guess I never really thought about it much until it happened.

[ She sighs. By all means, she should be happy that things turned out well in the end. But... ]

I don't know what I'd do if I went back home now.

[ There's no purpose for her anymore. Her role in the story is already over and she doesn't even know all of what happened. ]

[ voice ]

[ryuuhirameki]

Your life doesn't have to be defined by what happened in the past, or what might happen in the future. Be proud of the moments you're living now—and do the same when you go home.

[oblivious_klutz]

BREW taking people from all sorts of times can be confusing, huh Ahiru? Did someone from your home show up with the recent new arrivals?

Voice;

[wings_of_hope]

Really confusing. I don't understand how it all works...

[ She nods, but then abruptly remembers that she's not using video for a change. ]

Yeah, sorta. They've been here for a couple weeks, though.

[ And she feels really bad, but she doesn't even know what to say to him now. He knows she's Tutu and really just a... ]

Voice;

[oblivious_klutz]

I know what you mean. Everyone from home seems to be taken from a different time than me.

Well, it's good you get to see them again at least, right? [Oblivious to Ahiru's secret but wanting to help all the same somehow.]

voice;

[jutsu]

You too, huh, Ahiru?

voice;

[wings_of_hope]

Yeah... I guess it's happened to a lot of people here. I never knew how many.

voice;

[jutsu]

So, what happened?

voice;

[sharingan]

Yes.

voice;

[wings_of_hope]

...It is really common, huh?

[ video ]

[blue_wayfinder]

It's happened before. [More like, every single time someone from her world is brought here.]

[ video ]

[wings_of_hope]

Gosh, it's happened to a lot of people... I wonder why they take people from different times.

[voice]

[wordsgate]

Hmm. [Interesting. So what that one girl he talked to said was right--people do just seem to ask for advice on the Network.]

I've been lucky enough that it didn't happen to me, but...I can see how that could be confusing.

[voice]

[wings_of_hope]

It's weird. I feel like I know a lot of things I shouldn't know yet, now.

[Voice]

[knightofcourage]

I've had that happen. Although it's a little different for me...I remember things happening that my friends didn't know about yet.

[Voice]

[wings_of_hope]

[ Ah, so this one is in the same boat as Mytho, then. ]

Yeah, that's how it is for my friend who came here pretty recently. They know all kinds of stuff that me and the other person from my world don't know about at all.

[Video] late, hope you don't mind

[ih8spiders]

It's happened to me a few times.

[ Voice ] It's all good! I'm late, too.

[wings_of_hope]

Oh, it has? ...Wow, it's happened to a lot of people.

Did the ones you know come from um--before, or after?
